Tall, Taller, Tallest - The GCC's Upcoming Tall Towers

With UAE already having the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa and KSA having the Jeddah Kingdom Tower, currently under construction and expected to be taller than the Burj Khalifa, the region is set to witness an influx of tall towers in the near future.

The Tower in Dubai Creek Harbour once completed will be even taller than The Kingdom Tower and will then seize the crown for the world’s tallest tower.

Below is a list of the GCC’s top 10 tall towers in pre-construction stages (planned, design, tender for construction) as of March 2017.

Construction on these projects is expected to commence between later 2017 and 2018. The projects with more than one tower have their tallest tower’s number of floors mentioned.
